Leave Me Baby One More – Alina Popescu

I dropped a hand on his shoulder and squeezed. “Sounds to me like you’ve been dealing with a lifetime of lies. It didn’t do you or anyone else any favors. So maybe stop lying. To yourself. To David. Mourn, learn from this, then start something from the ground up.” Shirou twisted his upper body and wrapped his arms around my waist. He buried his face in my chest and proceeded to soak one of my favorite shirts in tears and snot.

I sighed and patted his back gently. What else was I supposed to do? OceanofPDF.com Chapter Fifteen “HOW DID IT GO with Shirou?” David asked when I returned. He’d been waiting for me in the living room and I suspected he’d been pacing the house ever since he’d woken up. I shrugged. “Maybe go see him.

Have a chat.” I rubbed my temples. “I don’t know.” David pulled me into a loose hug. “I expected a lot of things from you. That wasn’t one of them.” “I don’t like it,” I said, my words muffled by his strong chest. God, he smelled great. And felt even better. And now I had to pull myself out of this embrace and stand by while he comforted his ex. “I think he desperately needs a friend.

And you’re the closest thing to that around these parts.” David kissed the top of my head. “Yeah, he doesn’t have a lot of friends. I probably should have figured out he was a little too close to his cousin. Especially since he wasn’t like that with the rest of his family.” I closed my eyes and allowed myself to be held like that for a few more seconds.

“It will help the case. If he spends less time blind drunk, I’ll get more out of him.” I still had a lot of questions for Shirou. Of the Yakuza affiliation variety. But he’d not been up to much after the crying session we’d shared. “What will you do in the meantime?”

I stepped back from the comfort of David’s strong body and met his inquisitive gaze. “Try to convince Daisuke’s family to talk to me. Maybe get a hold of his girlfriend. See if she knows anything about Daisuke being here.” “He was here for Shirou, obviously.” I tilted my head, staring into space. “Maybe. I need a more precise timeline of his movements. Figure out when he got here. And whether or not he was planning on surprising Shirou at all.

Shirou claims he knew nothing about Daisuke coming to town.” “Think he’s telling the truth?” I reached out and ran my fingers across David’s brow, trying to smooth his frown. I wish I could have shielded him from the pain of being lied to by someone he trusted. “I do.

He had no reason to lie.” “Unless he killed his lover.” I smiled and cupped David’s face.

They’d apologized for this inconvenience, after a full hour of waiting around, strapped down to our seats like utter fools. I yanked my carry-on bag and stood. I needed a shower, I needed sleep, and I needed food. But what I wanted was to be home already and assess the total chaos waiting for me there. I’d only been away for like a week and everything had fallen apart.

This was why I didn’t take vacations. Ever. As I was waiting for the people in the front seats to stumble out of the plane, I checked my phone for any texts or emails from my older brother, Tate. I was hoping he’d tell me more about the situation back home. Nothing. I gnawed on my bottom lip and tried to run my hand through my hair. I’d tied it in a messy bun, so I couldn’t even do that.

I’d make it back, eventually. I’d drop my bag, then check on David, my current assistant and potentially new private investigator, if I managed to keep him out of jail long enough to get certified, that was. Luckily for him, this wouldn’t be my first time proving the cops wrong. If they thought David had killed a guy on the premises of my agency, OWL Investigations, they definitely needed all the help they could get.

David was far from stupid. He’d been lazy as a teen, which was why I’d had to tutor him back in high school. But his mind was sharp enough to cut yourself on it, and he’d applied all that to PI training. He wouldn’t make such a silly mistake like shooting a guy at his workplace. Especially since said guy was his ex-boyfriend’s side squeeze.
